Thread: Sharing a seedbox

Okay so my friend and I share a seedbox but we're not on any of the same trackers. How now wants an invite to one of the trackers I am a member of but it just occurred to me that we'd be using the same seedbox. ie; the same IP of that seedbox, right? Would I get banned for this, being that most trackers only allow one account per IP? I don't know why I never thought of this before lol.

If you tell them the trackers may put a note on your profile and say no problem.. but as you say if you don't mention it to them you may get banned. No harm in asking them.

Might be a good idea to contact the staff at whatever tracker if you're the one inviting him. That's like a double-whammy for a ban.

From what I've seen, trackers generally have no problem with this - even tough ones like BitmeTV. However, they usually require you to notify them somehow and make a note of it in your profile. I would certainly expect a ban if you did not follow their notification instructions.

You can ask your seedbox service provider for installing a vpn software. It may help you in that case. But aboves are good ways to follow.

Definitely check the rules on the tracker and notify them of a seedbox. Even if you are not sharing a seedbox it is always a good idea to notify the tracker...especially if you are not using a dedicated box. There may be another user on that tracker that is using the same seedbox company as you and you could look like you are both using the same IP. At the very least, at least contact the moderators on your tracker.
